Low Pollen in Grand Rapids, MI

About pollen in Grand Rapids

Pollen levels in Grand Rapids are moderate today, with both tree and weed sources contributing about equally. Weeds are likely the more noticeable factor this time of year, and sensitive individuals may feel some effects, though most people should be able to get through the day without much trouble. Looking ahead, tree pollen should ease over the next couple of days before ticking back up toward the end of the stretch, while weed pollen is expected to remain moderate throughout, aside from a brief lull midweek. This fits the seasonal pattern for mid-August, when lingering late-season tree pollen from species like oak or ash can mix with the early stages of ragweed season, the region's dominant late-summer allergen. Anyone sensitive to weed pollen should expect conditions to stay fairly steady in the coming days.
